    Ep. 7 J'Allen Jones: A Life Lost to Non-Compliance

    This episode examines the death of J’Allen Jones, a man with schizophrenia who died inside a Connecticut  prison after officers used extreme force during a strip search. We break down how a routine transfer, a dehumanizing search, and the misinterpretation of a psychiatric episode led to a fatal escalation. We challenge the assumption that strip searches are necessary for safety, explore evidence-based alternatives, and discuss how these practices often function as tools of humiliation and control rather than security. We also look at how Jones’s death, originally in 2018, has remained largely hidden from public view, resurfacing only through persistent advocacy by groups like the ACLU. This lack of visibility reflects a broader culture of secrecy within carceral settings, where deaths in custody receive minimal coverage and accountability. Ultimately, the episode situates Jones’s story within the wider public narrative about incarcerated people, examining how convictions become lifelong labels and how societal indifference allows abuses to go unchallenged.
